Furniture checklist for a cowork or flexible space

To equip a cowork, buy with rotation in mind: modular bench stations, a single chair reference for all free positions, acoustic booths for calls and independent lockers, which can be relocated. There are seven zones (fixed positions, free positions, calls, meetings, lockers, pause and reception) and they all share a requirement: withstand the intensive use of people who do not own the furniture and change places without losing value. Dunati provides this furniture, proposes the layout in plan and 3D, and installs it in Santiago and in the regions.

What is different about cowork furniture?

Three things that do not weigh equally in a corporate office:

• Intensive use by strangers.The same chair is used by several people in a week: the mechanisms have to be adjusted without instructions and the high-pressure laminate covers can withstand daily cleaning.
• Distribution rotation.What today is twelve free positions, tomorrow is a private office of six. Modular stations and independent lockers avoid repeat purchases.
• Electrification everywhere.Every booth, every meeting table and every high table needs a plug and charge. It is solved with trays, turrets and vertebrae in the furniture, connected to the points left by the construction company.

The most expensive mistake is buying free seats with the logic of the fixed ones: drawers that no one uses and three models of chairs with three sets of spare parts.

What furniture does each area have?

1. Fixed positions (private offices and dedicated desks)

2. Free positions (hot desks)

There are no personal drawers here: storage is resolved in lockers.

3. Call zone

The cabins declare 30 dB of insulation. In the Zenpod S, the light and ventilation turn on themselves with a motion sensor: in a cowork, this avoids booths that are on all night. Calculate how many by the simultaneous calls of the peak hour, not by the total number of members.

4. Meeting rooms

The Zenpods come with wheels to position them and leveling legs that fix them in the installation: their location, and the electrical point they need, are decided on the plan before installing.

5. Lockers

Calculate one locker per free position sold, plus a reservation for private office partners who arrive by bicycle.

6. Pause zone

While on hiatus, the tapestry receives the harshest use of the entire cowork: ask for Martindale cycles, foam density, and disinfectant resistance before choosing a color.

7. Reception

Electrification of all of the above

Dunati connects the electrification of the furniture to the points left by the construction company; does not do electrical installations. Mark those points on the plan before installing, including those in the cabins.

How many of each do you need?

It depends on the mix of memberships you want to sell. These criteria apply to any size:

• Free positions: by peak hour occupancy, not by total members.
• Cabins: for simultaneous calls during rush hour.
• Rooms: for simultaneous meetings on a normal day, with at least one small room (2 to 4 people) per booth area.
• Lockers: one per free seat sold, plus reservation.
• Pause: seats for a fraction of peak occupancy.

Theplan and 3D proposalconvert these criteria into quantities on your real plane.

What holds up to intensive use?

• Chairs: Axis, Grace and Cooper declare ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 certification according to their technical sheet. Dunati maintains spare parts for the chairs it assembles in Chile (armrests, mechanisms, backrests with mesh, star bases, wheels and pistons), so after the warranty only the damaged part is replaced. Choose wheels according to the floor: a wheel does not turn the same on carpet as on porcelain tile.
• Warranty: 3 years in chairs; 5 years on desks, storage, tables and receptions; 3 years on sofas, armchairs, poufs and cabins. To use it, write to info@dunati.com with the order number and details of the case; Technicians validate the fault before moving the product.

If you hesitate between two chairs, request a loan to evaluate them: Dunati lends chairs to companies and is coordinated by the advisor.

How long does it take to equip a cowork?

As a reference, because the firm deadline is set by each quote: what is in stock, such as chairs, is delivered in the Metropolitan Region in up to 3 business days from confirmation of payment. A cowork of about 20 positions with line laminates and structures in stock starts in about 10 business days of manufacturing, from the payment of the advance, plus about 1 day of installation; larger projects range from 15 to 35 business days depending on their size. The cabins with stock in Chile are delivered installed in about 10 business days, and special colors, wood veneers and imports lengthen any deadline. Projects are paid with 50% advance and the balance before delivery.
